Can you use a Fox DHX coil 5.0 rear shock on a 06′ Cannodale Gemini?
The 06′ Gemini has 170mm of rear travel with a stock Vanilla R rear shock. I’am wanting to upgrade to a better downhill/ freeride rear shock, and need to now if any of the Fox DHX coil shocks will work. Also, am looking at the Marzocchi Roco Tst R and possibly the Cane Creek Double Barrel rear shock. Will any of these fit and if noy what will?
I have bought a number of rear shocks throughout the years for my bikes.
The one thing to remember about rear shocks is that you can normally change different brands as long as the shocks all have the same stroke length, that way total real travel is unaffected. You don’t want to go with a shock that has a longer or shorter stroke to try to increase or decrease total swingarm travel. Also, some XC frames don’t allow for a piggyback or external reservoir shock, the space is too small and the shock ends up hitting the frame.
Although why anyone would even try to put a freeride or DH type shock on an XC frame is pretty silly.
Anyway, you don’t have that problem since the Gemini is a freeride and DH oriented machine. It is built for bigger, burlier DH/Freeride/Trail shocks.
Rear shocks have spacers that vary from frame to frame, that is why most shocks can fit on most frames, and the spacers allow you to bolt the frame and shock together.
Regarding the Gemini, The Fox DHX can fit, and since it is a Fox Shox, you can use the same spacers from the Vanilla on the DHX.
If you were to go with the Cane Creek, You’d have to buy a new set of spacers to get it to fit the frame, so tack that on to the price.
Same with Marzocchi, you just need the spacers.
Wherever you order or buy the shock from, you’ll need the width of the current spacers so remove your current shock and measure in MM the width of each spacer, from the end to the point where it meets the shock eyelet. Do this for both ends, since the top and bottom spacer width is not the same. You will also need to measure the size of the bolt holes for both spacers.
Also, when ordering, you will need to get a similar spring rate. Check the spring currently on your bike. It should have a stroke length and pound number printed directly on the spring. Something that looks like 450×2.0 the 450 is the weight of the spring and the 2.0 is the stroke length.
It can also be reversed where it is listed as 2.0×450, but the info is still the same. So I would recommend that you also have that info handy. If you like the way your current bike rides, then get that same spring weight, and make sure its for the same stroke length.
If your current shock is oversprung or too mushy, then you can go up or down in the spring weight to compensate.
Keep that info handy when you order your shock, so you can get the right spacers, the right spring weight, and right stroke length for your frame. If you tell them that you have”brand X” frame, chances are the info for that specific model isn’t in the database. Its much easier to have that info than to order a new shock and have to send it back because it is too long/short, or have to wait for them to send a new spring or a different set of spacers.
